About this listen

In this episode of the A&D Podcast, Austin and Dietrich kick things off with some massive news—literally. Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, known to many as "The Mountain," has once again redefined human limits by breaking his world record in the deadlift. The hosts break down what this lift means for the strength world, how it compares to records, and whether we're approaching the ceiling of human performance.


From record-breaking strength to rugby’s shifting foundation, the conversation shifts to Wales, where the sport seems to be in a strange limbo. The guys explore the state of Welsh rugby—what's working, what's not, and how structural issues and player development might be impacting their national identity on the pitch.


Finally, the episode wraps with a deep dive into the financial turbulence shaking the English Premiership. With clubs folding, salaries slashed, and uncertainty clouding the league's future, Austin and Dietrich ask the big questions: Can the Premiership survive in its current form? And what can be done to stop the bleeding?

Tune in for a heavy-hitting episode that covers power, passion, and the pressure building on both the barbell and the rugby pitch.
